Our commitments

Les Thermes de Saint-Gervais has spent several years investing in a geothermal installation with centralised IT management.

The installation makes it possible to heat the entire building and sanitary water and to maintain the water temperature in the indoor and outdoor pools. The installation provides the spa guests with a constant and comfortable temperature and humidity level.

The costs for the geothermal installation and refurbishment of the air treatment system quickly paid for themselves. The installation allows for significant annual savings and prevents the release of approximately 200 tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere.

Respect for the environment is an extremely important concern that requires an ongoing daily commitment. The Thermal Baths in Saint-Gervais have phased out the use of disposable bags and replaced them with bags made from natural materials such as cotton or jute.

Our packaging is recycled, as is all company waste. Numerous sorting bins are located in and around the premises. Our employees also undertake numerous other initiatives on a daily basis including the elimination of plastic cups, the use of local suppliers and the adoption of PEFC-certified paper from sustainably managed forests in France.

This year we exchanged with a local company, Alterosac. The firm, who make reusable packaging, have produced a range of eco-responsible goodies available for purchase from our boutique on site. The seamstresses at Alterosac have used their skills to create super-strong tote bags from our old advertising banners.

During construction works carried out in 2018, the Thermal Baths in Saint-Gervais initiated a project designed to protect local flora and fauna. The scheme has been awarded the BiodiverCity certification (a quality certification for biodiversity in property development - awarded by the International Biodiversity and Property Council©).
